Abstract
A variable pitch airfoil assembly for an engine includes a disk having an annular shape extending about an axial direction, an airfoil coupled to the disk via a platform, and at least one damping element disposed between the platform and the disk. The airfoil extends outwardly from the disk in a radial direction and is rotatable relative to the disk about a pitch axis. The at least one damping element is configured to provide vibration damping by friction between the at least one damping element, the disk, and the platform while also allowing for a pitch change of the airfoil.
